Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were performed to understand the thermal properties. The TGA measurement was carried out using a TGA (STA 409 PC, Netzsch, Selb, Germany), and ~10 mg film specimens were tested at a heating rate of 10 °C/min in a temperature range of 30 to 600 °C under a nitrogen flow of 20 cm3/min. The maximum disintegration temperature was determined from differential thermogravimetry (DTG) curves [54]. The DSC was observed using a TA instrument (DSC200 F3, Netzsch) at a heating rate of 10 °C/min in a temperature range of 20 to 350 °C under a nitrogen gas atmosphere.
